A Canadian man, whose extradition is being sought by the United States, has been arrested and detained in Canada in connection with the homicide of Evelyn Jeanette Weaver.
After an extensive investigation, Bend Police identified 25-year-old Cole Nikolaus Sinclair as the suspect in the homicide of Evelyn Weaver. Sinclair was provisionally arrested on December 17, 2024, under Canada’s extradition process and remains detained in Canada at this time pending the outcome of his extradition proceedings.
At this time, the Bend Police Department is not releasing further information due to legal restrictions.
Weaver, 28, was found dead in her home in July 2023. She was a victim of homicide. There is no indication at this time that Weaver and Sinclair knew one another.
